Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Using a food processor, process basil leaves until chopped very fine. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and pulse two or three times, or until combined.
  • Add egg, 1 teaspoon oil, and the water until dough forms a ball shape. If dough seems dry, add a bit more water. Wrap dough in a piece of plastic wrap which has been coated in a few drops of olive oil.
  • Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator, and cut into 6 equal size portions. Run pasta though pasta machine, or roll with rolling pin to desired thickness. Use the additional flour to coat pasta while rolling.
  • Allow pasta to dry for one hour prior to cooking if making noodles.
  • Cook in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. This should take only a 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
